Ludic or Ludian or Ludic Karelian (Luudi, Lyydi, or lüüdi) is a Finnic language in the Uralic language family. It is transitional between Olonets Karelian language and Veps language.[1] It originated as a northern dialect of Veps transformed under heavy Karelian influence.[citation needed] It is spoken by 3,000 Karelians in the Republic of Karelia in Russia, near the northwestern shore of Lake Onega, including a few children.

Classification

In the Finnish research tradition, Ludic has been considered, on historical grounds, a transitional dialect area between Karelian and Veps, while in the Russian research tradition it is, on ethnographic grounds, normally considered a dialect of Karelian. A status as an independent language has been proposed in recent times.[4] Ludic is characterized by a specific mixture of Karelian-like traits (such as the diphthongization of the Proto-Finnic non-open long vowels: e.g. *pää > piä 'head', *soo > suo 'swamp', contrast Veps , so)[5] and Veps-like traits (such as an almost complete loss of consonant gradation).[6]

Dialects

Ludic comprises three main dialect groups:[4]

  • Northern (Lake) Ludic, at the northwestern shores of Lake Onega
  • Central (River) Ludic, at settlements along river Shuya and near the city of Petrozavodsk
  • Kuďäŕv (Forest) Ludic, in the Mikhaylovskoye rural locality

The strongest Karelian influence is found in Northern Ludic, while the Kuďäŕv dialect shares the most features with Veps.
